I thought of a title in a different vein...

How about "A Time to Run"

It is a take off on Ecclesiastes 3

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to
build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to
dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a
time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast
away;
a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time
to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

"A time to run" is really the basic message of the movie, i.e. when
things get bad maybe the safest course of action is to run away.
It is also nicely ambiguous. The audience sees the title and sees a
girl running and thus is not immediately tipped of that this is a movie
about danger.

Here is my proposal for the titling: (by the way what is Claudia's
last name and do we want to give Ted's friend a name and if so what?
Please contact me if you have any additions, corrections, or other
suggestions for these credits. (Bernie, I may have to make all the
credits including the web address very short for the contest so the
movie will not run over the the fifteen minute time limit by too much
but for the distribution version we can rework the credits to make sure
that SAMM and its website is given plenty of exposure.)

Opening titles and credits: (remember Jordan Scott is the screen name
that Jill Hess wants to use).
